Thinking about buying Zu Definitions, need advice
Presence probably would work better than Definition. it was designed for smaller rooms.Zu is a speaker that frankly you need to demo before purchasing. I would call Zu and see if someone in your area has a pair and you can get a demo. Then you can... 
Sophia 2 with Plinius?
i would look at BAT 250SE. BAT and Wilson is a really good match. 
Magico Mini II vs. Magico V2 comparison
Dave- there is no right and wrong. we get it, you like planars. other of us don't. but harping on people that they are wrong is really poor taste.and the Magicos may be the best speaker i've ever heard--and that includes stats and planars. are the... 
Who OWNS Zu Audio Speakers- Especially Definition
i had an opportunity to hear the Zus this evening on different amplification---the Zu owner switched to a metal 845 and it was extremely different. the loss i previously heard at the high end was completely gone---detail was very good this time ar... 
Does anyone like country
I like Jamey Johnson's cd....and i like the old Pat Green stuff (and it's well recorded)Dwight Yoakam is probably my all time favorite---thousand miles from nowhere and albums before. 
Magico Mini II vs. Magico V2 comparison
that's nonsense Daveb---i took a BAT integrated to a dealer and it drove the V3s with amplomb. the dealer was even taken back how live the sound was as he had his doubts going in. 
Amplifier for Audio Physics Virgo II
cary is a perfect match. and reasonable. 
Best amp for NHT Classic 3
an old Citation amp would be PERFECT with the 3s. you really need 250 watts/side 
BAT VK-300x
300XSE is the one i have owned. 
Who OWNS Zu Audio Speakers- Especially Definition
Definition Mk2s really need 10 ft away at least, as was the distance i was hearing them over the weekend to get the drivers to integrate properly.i think the Mk2s are a pretty neat speaker---nice tone in the midrange and that is their charm. guita... 
Who OWNS Zu Audio Speakers- Especially Definition
i am going to hear Definition 2s tomorrow, and can provide some feedback.right now, i am planning to purchase Magicos, but that may change. 
Zu Essence + Sub vs Zu Definition MK2?
i've heard the druid iv compared to the Definition---its not remotely close. i konw the essence addst he ribbon supertweet, which adds some higher resolution---but not like the definition from what i've heard.i think the main thing with zu is i pr... 
Thiel CS3.7 vs WP8?
very different speakers. can't imagine you wouldn't like one, perhaps hate the other 
BAT VK-300x
fantastic integrated---perhaps best in class, even today. i have heard both BAT and Blue Circle---i would say the BAT has more "gusto" and a slightly more liquid midrange. however, i have not heard the Ffth, only the NSCS. 
Short List of the Best 20K Speakers
i heard both the V3 and the Sasha in the past week---the V3 is clearly the more musical speaker and does some uncanny imaging and soundstaging (guitars and vocals perhaps the most lifelike i've heard). i was very impressed with both, but came away...
